Tuesday's Sound Off

My choice for president did not win and I have accepted the results. Now that the election is over I hope that the winners can find a way to unite this country and that the losers can be gracious and find the same strength. Bickering and complaining will not resolve any issues.

I appreciate everybody volunteering and giving their time at the polls but we had one person in our ward who had so much trouble recording people’s names that the lines just grew and grew while the voting booths stayed empty. The men who were letting us into the voting booth were even frustrated. For the next election I think they need to look into get someone speedier. Again I appreciate their time but you need to expedite the process.

OK the election is over. Your candidate won or your candidate lost. Get over it and get on with your life and now pick up the darn signs. I am tired of looking at signs at every interchange on 422, in yards, fields, wherever. It’s over. Pick them up and put them away.

Did you hear in Illinois a person was elected to the House after he was expelled from the House last year on federal corruption charges? This guy kept his name on the ballot and he won over 60 percent of the vote and is back in the House now. That just shows you where this country is going as far as voting. A guy like that gets back in and he’s still up on these charges. Just amazing. No wonder I’m not voting anymore.

We were at the Boyertown Hooks for a banquet and the food was excellent. They serve lunch on a Friday and breakfast on Sunday morning and it’s a very good and reasonable place to eat. Thank you Boyertown Hookies.

In answer to Obama’s calling off the National Day of Prayer (if this is true), does he realize there are many different beliefs but we all have someone to pray to?

Now that the election is over I hope people quit bashing the president or those who were on the ballot. If there is something we would like changed or added, then sound off.

To all Obama bashers, you need to stop. Enough is enough. He’s the president now and you need to move on. It’s because of people like you that the country is divided. Get a grip and stop bashing Obama.

I can’t believe the confusion over the voter ID issue. My voting poll asked me for an ID and I complied. I read the straight dope that IDs were not required at this time in the newspaper and on TV about a dozen times. However there was nothing about voter IDs on Dr. Phil, Eagles football or the Simpsons about it. Just whose job is it to stay informed anyway?

THE TOWN CRIER

This is for the person who keeps stealing The Mercury from the McDonald’s on Shoemaker Road. Don’t be so selfish, you are not the only one who likes to read the paper. Wise up.

This is for the person concerned about the animals being confused by the time change. Does your dog tell time? Does it wear a watch? I sure hope it’s a Flava Flav clock because that is the only acceptable time piece for a dog.

I was talking to an acquaintance of mine and she said she was finally glad the rich were going to have to pay their fair share. When I pointed out that her son-in-law owned a lucrative and successful Main Line dental practice, she changed her tune and said that the father of her grandchildren and her daughter’s husband was just barely getting by and needed all the money he was making and he earned it and his taxes shouldn’t be raised.

INTERESTING

Someone with a little compassion and love in their heart, please go and get the cat and two kittens at the Rupert School and try to give it a home. If I were closer, I would go get it. Someone please be their savior and go save these little animals. You’ll be rewarded.

On Oct. 11 I shot a deer, a six point buck, 145 pounds. I use a crossbow. I’m a hunter who happens to be disabled and without the help of my two sons and the fire company workers who helped trail the deer, dressed the deer and hung it for me, all this could not have been possible. If my fellow hunters out there happen to be disabled, you too can go out there and achieve your goal. Thanks to the helpers and my sons.
